If you have not heard, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has attacked nationally syndicated conservative radio host and best selling author Mark Levin.

They publicly attacked Mark Levin because the Jim DeMint created Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) gives out copies of Mark Levins book. The NRSC alleges a quid pro quo relationship to help drive up the popularity of Levins book. The book was published in 2009 before SCF was a significant force and had already become a best seller before SCF gave out copies.

This attack follows the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) attacking conservative businesses and threatening to drive them from business because they happen to do business with the Senate Conservatives Fund. The NRSCs tactics mirror the harassment the IRS inflicted on tea party groups.

Those attacks came after US News and World Report columnist Brian Walsh leveled attacks on conservative groups, including the Senate Conservatives Fund, for daring to hold Republicans accountable for their promises. Subsequent to that column US News and World Report had to admit Brian Walsh is on the payroll of the NRSC.

The Chamber of Commerce, the Main Street Partnership, the NRSC, and lobbyists galore in Washington are coordinating attacks on conservative groups and conservative candidates for daring to champion limited government and hold the GOP accountable for breaking promises. These groups have no interest in supporting limited government and free markets. They support their government and their markets with your tax dollars.

The GOP in Washington has decided that the problem is not government, but Democrats in charge of government. And theyve decided to punish any conservative who points out government itself is the problem. Conservative groups are attacked by Republican leaders. Conservative candidates are attacked by Republican leaders. Conservative talk radio hosts are attacked by Republican leaders.

The single biggest thing you can do to clean up the GOP is to defeat Mitch McConnell in Kentucky by supporting Matt Bevin. The NRSC attacks all came after the Senate Conservatives Fund decided to support Bevin. The attacks on Mark Levin came after he spoke kindly of Matt Bevin. The attacks on conservative candidates came after Matt Bevin became a credible candidate.

All these attacks came because Mitch McConnell would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. He would rather a Senate GOP minority with himself in charge than a Senate GOP majority with himself retired.

You beat Mitch McConnell, you will find many Republican squishes with squishy soiled underwear. Until you beat Mitch McConnell, these guys in Washington will neither respect you nor fear you.

But when you beat the sitting Senate Republican Leader in a primary, suddenly Washington knows the grassroots are in charge. The attacks on conservatives will only get worse until conservatives beat Mitch McConnell.

Correct, which I have done.

Incorrect, they will get worse. If conservatives take the government look for the Fed to suddenly discover high interest rates.

This is a war.

I sure as Hell hope so, since Cornhole announced that he was going to sponsor, with Lindsey Grahamnesty no less, a bill that would codify Obama's E.O. related to the massive expansion of the definition of "mentally incompetent" to own firearms. WTF is a Texas Senator doing expanding the number of people who are BANNED FOR LIFE from owning guns????

He exposed Cornyn’s support for expanding the definition of “mentally incompetent” for purposes of the NICS background check. Cornyn apparently likes the idea of denying people an explicitly stated and guaranteed Constitutional right - FOR LIFE, and with no possibility of appeal.

As a supporter of the Convention of States, I've been attacked by them and I don't know what to make of it. Their attitudes don't seem to square with Jim Robinson's welcome statement on the front page.

INHO, this makes a lot of sense. The purpose of the NRSC to to get pubbie Senators elected. Especially incumbents, since that’s usually much easier than a newbie.

However, that does NOT mean I agree with the NRSC. McConnell needs to go, as does Boehner. Neither of them comes close to my mental model of a “conservative, small government, low taxes, more freedoms, less regulations” candidate.

I’d gladly vote for Matt Bevin if I could. Instead, I’ll happily vote against linda graham in the primary.

Well, I am not only talking about donations...Tht is important for exposure and getting the word out for your candidate...

I am talking about your voting base...Are they engaged, are they pizzed off about this politician who is teaming up to sell this country down the river???

Enough to toss him out on the street???

These people ARE NOT above reproach, and it IS up to us in the rank and file grassroots that need to stay focused and take out the trash now...We’ve been fiddle farting around for way too long, and the time is now to rid ourselves of the political cowards that are only looking to justify their existance and continued disservice to their districts, their states and their country...

And the grassroots needs to be extremely un-apologetic about it!!!
